The CRON Script

The AXIS 200+ includes a CRON script service that facilitates periodic command execution. It allows you to program event and/or time triggered functions within the AXIS 200+.

From the AXIS 200+ Home Page, you can access an on-line editor for generating the CRON script file. Alternatively, you can use a common text editor and download the file via ftp.

For example, you can program the AXIS 200+ to store a new fullsize image on an ftp server every 5 minutes.

The AXIS 200+ can also be activated by logical transitions on its input ports. Thus, by connecting a digital microcircuit to an entrance door, the AXIS 200+ could be triggered to take a snapshot on each occasion the door opens and then, for example, send an e-mail with the snapshot to an operator.

Refer to the AXIS 200+ User’s Manual for more information.

EyeGet - the JPEG Script

When using the AXIS 200+ over the Internet, we recommend that it is accessed over an assisting web server and not directly. This is because the AXIS 200+ has limited capacity for handling the extra amount of buffering that the Internet may generate.

Axis has developed a JPEG collector program that periodically collects JPEG snapshots from your AXIS 200+ and writes them to a local file on your web server for later retrieval.

The program is called EyeGet and is available in both Windows and UNIX versions. You can download EyeGet free of charge from
